But what it does have is 12 months’ MoT. We’re told it’s very reliable with no mechanical faults… which is good news. What’s not so good, perhaps, is that the rear wheelarches require some attention.

The brake discs and pads have plenty of life left in them and we’re told that everything works – manual sunroof, electric windows, and central locking. The seller says that the exhaust is in good condition and a new, heavy-duty battery was fitted last year. The tyres also look good, with a new set fitted to the rear recently. So it could justify its £1375 price tag, especially as demand is growing for these cars.A Grand Monday: Peugeot 406 Coupe V6 £450 13 Jul 2015 (News)

This car , currently for sale on Merseyside, clearly isn't ready for the road, but it's a fabulous project. Supplied new by the garage that's selling it (a former DAF dealer) in 1974 - the penultimate year of 44 production before DAF cars were absorbed into the Volvo empire - it was bought back by the vendor in the mid-1990s and has spent the past 20 years languishing in a garage building. As such, it has only covered 50,000 miles from new, and although the Mimosa Yellow paintwork looks a bit flat, there's a good, solid bodyshell beneath it.A Grand Monday: Peugeot 405 TD LX Estate 9 Oct 2017 (News)
Coupled to the fact that it was also terrific to drive and the 405 was a compelling proposition. The good news doesn't end there, either.
